Volume buttons question - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

If I am on my home screen and I use the volume buttons, it only changes the media volume instead of the notification/ring tone volume like I would expect. The only way I can change the notification/ring tone volume is to go into the sound settings menu and adjust the slider. Am I overlooking a way to change what the volume buttons control?

Apparently, that's how Oneplus has set it to work. You'll have to tweak it with xposed/ custom rom/ magisk mod.

Has anybody found a solution to this annoying as hell problem? How do you make the volume side buttons control the ringer volume? Why is there not a choice? Is it that difficult to for the programmers to fix? It's a simple thing. I hate that when you go into settings and control the volume that way IT PLAYS YOUR F&$KING RING TONE!!! That is so stupid! And don't come back with "use your slide switch above the on/off button" because I want to use my volume buttons. Can anyone help? It sucks having to waste so much time to try and find a solution to such a simple request....

Same here. Any software "fix" that bypasses the slider? I just have a bad feeling about it breaking one day...

use a volume app. Also, if you are putting a request do it nicely, nobody is working for you here. We share what we know and nobody owes anyone anything.
That is how oneplus has designed the volume keys to work so complain on oneplus support.

What volume app? I can't find anything that overrides the slider. Allegedly, oxygen slider (xposed module) might be it, but wanted to confirm if anyone here was successful in doing so.

Try this thread - xposed alternative full working
I don't know which app. It has been a long time so I don't know if it exists anymore.

Ended up finding a little app called "silent mode toggle". Basically puts the phone into vibrate mode, which is all I need. Tasker has similar functionally as well. This bypasses the slider (needs to be in the ring mode).

An app similar to Invisibright Pro but for Volume?

I use the invisibright app because it gives you the option to stick it in the notifications bar so you can access it whenever you need to change the brightness. I'm looking for a similar app that does the same except this time, its the volume settings, not brightness. My volume rockers have been modded to be used as menu and back buttons, which I find really handy, so I'm left with using recent plus to access volume settings. Sometimes it takes a while to have recent plus start up, and pulling up the notification bar is faster. Is there such an app?

Have you tried this one? Sounds like what you're looking for:

in recent plus you can set it for both volume and brightness all in the same long press

That's what I'm currently using for volume. I don't like it that much though because sometimes it takes forever to show up. The 'long-press' on that app seems to be a 'press for a lifetime' for me.

Your link returns as 'The requested item could not be found.' What country are you in?

I emailed the dev about it. Received a reply 5 minutes later (talk about excellent customer service!) He acknowledged my suggestion of being able to change the volume as well, and said that he'll get it working pretty soon.

Hey guys,
I'm working on this today and ran into an interesting issue. Normally, volume rockers can are "smart" by sending a volume up/down event to the currently open app. You'll see this when you hit the rocker while playing music and it knows to adjust the media volume, not the system volume. If I implement this in the slider, I have a bad feeling that the key remap mod will kick in and it'll send a menu button action or something. Can someone (with a Nook) willing to test this out for me give me a quick PM? I only have a Droid Charge.
UPDATE:
nvm, found a much better way of doing it
Thanks.

This is great news, danny. I'm willing to test anything for you, but the thing is I've got my NC bricked just yesterday. :'( I've been up all night trying to fix it! T_T Once I get it up and running again I'll be 100% supporting this project of yours! ^_^
InvisiBright updated
3.3 now has options for volume and new slider height settings (both for tablets). Enjoy!

Disable volume buttons

Hey Guys
Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the volume buttons on the side of the S4 I9505?
Im tired of the volume being changed or muted during the day just because the buttons were pressed by accident.
Any info appreciated.
Chris
hy,
i found no solution for this in stock rom, but in some third party lockscreen-app's like widgetlocker, there is an option for exactly this feature.
I tried this a few minutes ago and it devinitively works without root. Also some aokp/cm - roms offer this option, if I'm not mistaken.
edit: sry i misread! U want to disable volumebuttons general...... my proposed solution was just for phone wake-up / lockscreen
I use Volume Locker for locking the volume. I always keep knocking the volume buttons and this app is great for automatically putting it back.
Thanks guys

[Q] Notification Volume

So I've run across an issue that is quite bothersome to me.
is there no option to make the notification volume change with the ringer volume?
I haven't found the setting anywhere and on both my old htc and samsung devices there was an option, does lg not have one or am I missing it?

If you press the settings cog in the volume slider in the notification Window it let's you change volume for a bunch of different things, I'm not sure if that's what you are looking for.

No, I know how to change the volume.
What I'm looking for is a setting to make the notification volume change at the same time as the ringer volume.

Gotcha, I haven't looked too hard at that, I will take a look when I get a few minutes.
I'm sure there's an app that let's you do this. Have you checked the play store?
Nothing that I've found works so far

[Q] Is there any way to link Ringtone and Notification volumes?

I'm really surprised by this it seems kind of a useless thing to me but when pushing the volume button down it lowers the volume of the ringtone but not the notification volume? I have to click on the volume settings and lower it manually.
Is anyone else experiencing this? or know of any way to link the two so that notifications would be the same volume as the ringtone?
I'd even use a volume manager if that would work but I tried to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
The Simple Volume app works for me to address this issue.
How it's possible ?

This worked perfectly for me. Thank you!!
Now if I could only separate the vibration for notifications and ringtones. Haha I will post another question for this.
Thanks again

Any way to reduce the ring volume to vibrate?

On all Android phones I've had, if I reduce the volume on the ringer, it would go down to just vibrate. How do I do this with the OP5?
You have to use the slider above the volume rocker on the left side. OnePlus did it this way on purpose. Just holding the volume down will not put it in vibrate.

with the rocker, it is impossible to have this:
truly silent mode (no vibration)
vibration only for priority contacts
and
loud mode (ringer loud + vibration)
There is absolutely no reason why oneplus doesn't allow volume=zero in dnd mode.
Well there is a DND and in that setting there are plenty of customizations you can do under DND aa will as silent. If there is something not there you can request it on their feedback forums. Maybe they can add some extra functionality.

of course there is. But the not-so-unusual scenario above is, unfortunately, only solvable with tasker, as oneplus deliberately decided to remove this functionality.
That's super annoying,why did they need to change it.
It was perfect on my Op2..
Top slider - silent
Middle - priority
Bottom - ringer and/or vibrate if no volume

Do you actually own the OP5 yet? Because you would know that it's not possible (see other replies for details).
